A geotechnical laboratory reported these results of five samples taken from a single boring. Determine which are not correctly reported, if any. Sample #1: w= 30%, Ya =14.9 kN/m', y, = 27 kN/m²; clay. Sample #2: w = 20%, ya = 18 kN/m', ys = 27 kN/m²; silt. Sample #3: w =10%, ya =16 kN/m², y; = 26 kN/m'; sand. Sample #4: w = 22%, ya= 17.3 kN/m², ys = 28 kN/m'; silt. Sample #5: w= 22%, ya= 18 kN/m², ys = 27 kN/m²; silt.
